The video(s) say it all...

12 Years Later, Viral ‘Ichiro Girl’ And The Mariners Great Reunite In Fantastic, Feelgood Moment
Prior to that moment, Skinner reminisced about the day that made her famous in Seattle.


“I couldn’t see where the ball was going and I was scared it was going to hit me so that’s why I was kind of leaning away. Because of that I had no idea that Ichiro was coming towards me since I was looking the other way,” she told Lookout Landing.

“We just hit each other pretty hard. I look over and I see Ichiro and and I also remember the sun was behind his head. I thought he was an angel, I thought I died. So I just saw this like, this silhouette and then he asked me if I was OK and I said yes. Then, you know, he ran off and that’s when I had a meltdown.”

What Iris Skinner didn’t know as she walked out on to the field at T-Mobile Park Friday night was who was going to be catching her ceremonial first pitch: the man himself, Ichiro Suzuki.
